Not long ago, the Sino-US talks made everyone excited, and Chinese translator Zhang Jing also amazed everyone.

As a senior translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she used a 16-minute translation to perfectly demonstrate the spirit of a great country.

However, just a few days ago, a big V posted on his blog: "Zhang Jing has a typical Chinese accent, nothing extraordinary."

In fact, these People who complain about Zhang Jing’s English proficiency are far from being “professionals”.

That big V is a media person, and his area of ??expertise is writing "essays and current reviews", and some netizens have not even passed CET-4...

But for them, recognizing the excellence of professionals is even more difficult than reaching the sky. The reason may be as one netizen commented:

"There are always people who want to throw water on the hottest fire to show off their knowledge."

But this is really the case. Any insight? No, this is just "seeing too much and not realizing it", which exposes one's own ignorance.

In the high-pressure environment of high-level talks, translators first have to take shorthand notes for 16 minutes, and then do translation output for nearly 20 minutes in one breath. In order to reach such a level, the efforts that professional translators have to make are unimaginable for ordinary people.

Also popular with Zhang Jing is the four-month "devil training schedule" for professional translators from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

After getting up every day, first do two and a half hours of Chinese language training. English translation training;

Then listen to one hour of international news and translate all the news accurately;

Conduct translation and dictation training throughout the afternoon, or attend a press conference to do Trial translation training;

In the evening, there is a 3-hour "extra meal" training, where the leaders translate the daily speeches in groups.

Bing Xin has a famous saying in "Stars":

"People only marvel at the beauty of the flower of success now, but her buds were soaked in tears of struggle. The spring is sprinkled with the blood of sacrifice."

The flowers and applause that the world sees are all watered by blood and tears. Behind every confident smiling face, there is a soul with gritted teeth.

In real life, there are many people who ridicule and smear talented people like this.

For example, a tall and burly man challenged the female Sanda champion. Before the start, he claimed that "it is not easy to attack women", but he was knocked to the ground in less than 5 seconds;

I feel Sales only require words, but as a result, I worked for a month and broke my legs without selling a set of products, so I had to resign silently.

I am reminded of what Huawei Vice President Meng Wanzhou said in his speech: "We used to set salaries based on academic qualifications, but now we set salaries based on value."

In the final analysis, you decide The most valuable thing is always your professionalism.

There are no shortcuts in the world. Those who seem to be enjoying industry dividends have accumulations behind them that you cannot see through.

An ancient saying goes: "Great things in the world must be done in detail." Long-lasting success is indispensable for professional support; dazzling results are indispensable for the polishing of details.

Instead of lamenting that others are lucky, it is better to admit the gap between yourself and others and find ways to work hard to improve. This is the key to getting your life on the right track.

The shape and size of the ice balls also have strict requirements. In order to prevent the ice cubes from melting, they need to be within 10 An ice ball that meets the requirements is carved within seconds;

Top bartenders can even sense the temperature changes of the wine through the glass.

Japanese writer Yataro Matsuura once said:

“Those who are often troubled by restlessness and anxiety often have the problem of ‘thinking too much’ about the future.”

< p>Everyone’s energy is limited. Instead of moving around in different fields, it is better to settle down, choose a direction and achieve the ultimate goal.

In life, you can have many choices, but no path is a shortcut.

The overcrowded subway, the cubicle of the building, the unoriginal takeout, the familiar night scene... There are not many surprises in life. It starts over and over again every day, like the diligent hands on the dial, but it can never be separated from it. Turn on the dial.

Only with awe and perseverance towards the profession, walking a narrow path first and being down-to-earth, can you finally gain a sudden enlightenment in life.
